Mar 30 Longyearbyen. So long, phone

Here I am in Longyearbyen with my phone in my hand, as it lives its last hours. This is because Ny-Ålesund is a radio-silent place. There is no bluetooth, wifi, phone network, etc in a 20km radius around. Longyearbyen is also the last bit of civilisation, as there is everything here: a hospital, a school, a shop, a gym... Many people really live here!
